← Nature & AnimalsWhich cellular consequence results when gene expression within imaginal discs is disrupted by transposon insertion?
A)Metamorphic failure and loss of structure✓
B)Increased melanin production for camouflage
C)Accelerated neuronal differentiation rate
D)Enhanced desiccation resistance due to cuticle
💡 Explanation
When transposon insertion disrupts gene expression, it interferes with spatiotemporal patterning via transcription factors within imaginal discs, leading to disorganized cell differentiation and failure of controlled development yielding eventual metamorphic structural deficiency. Therefore failure ensues instead of other processes, which rely on different biological paths.
